What is the starting point you choose to describe the location or position of an object?
Position
Starting Point
Reference Point
Location
What is an object's distance and direction from a reference point?
Position
Location
Displacement
True or False: A description of a position only needs distance and direction
True
False
True or False: If you change the reference point, only the description of the objects position changes
True
False
What is the process of changing position?
Location
Distance
Motion
Displacement
What is displacement?
The difference between the first position and the final position of an object
The length of the path taken
What is Distance?
The difference between the first position and the final position of an object
The length of the path taken
What is the measure of the distance an object travels per unit time?
Distance
Speed
Velocity
What is the unit for speed?
g/L
m/K
Km/mol
m/s
Which type of speed is the speed of an object at a specific instant in time?
Constant Speed
Average Speed
Instantaneous Speed
Which type of speed is the rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second?
Constant Speed
Instantaneous Speed
Average Speed
Which type of speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance.
Constant Speed
Instantaneous Speed
Average Speed
How do we calculate average speed?
Total Distance-Total Time
Total Distance x Total Time
Total Distance + Total Time
Total Distance / Total Time
What variable goes on the x-axis?
Time
Distance
What variable goes on the y-axis?
Time

True or False: The steeper the slope, the slower the speed
True
False
What does a horizontal line mean on a distance-time graph?
